Keil objected to going into executive session for this reason and thought it may not be legal.
Bardarson thought the point was to listen to what the attorney had to say and if all agreed,
council could come out of executive session and make a statement if council wished.
City Attorney Cheryl Brooking answered that the reason stated was certainly a legal
meeting.
